re: Favorite Player From 2012 Team

Johnny Manziel and Mike Evans are both great choices, but I'm going to go with one of the toughest SOB's alive: Ryan Swope.

He always gave his full effort and only concussions could bring the man down. He started the year off slowly while becoming acclimated to a new system and a new quarterback. The turning point for him was the Ole Miss game, where he bounced back from a costly turnover to catch the game-winning touchdown. I'll always carry the image with me of Swope after that TD, emotionally spent after laying it all out on the field.

Honorable mention: Spencer Nealy

He outperformed the expectations and made Barrett Jones his bitch in the Alabama game. Here's an excerpt from among the many autograph-related articles currently circulating:

This summer, three days after the now infamous tweet, former Aggies defensive lineman Spencer Nealy walked into a local restaurant and beer hall and found Fitch posted up in the corner with his parents, who were in town from Kerrville, Texas.

"Hey, dips---," Nealy said, "when are you gonna delete Johnny's Twitter?"
